The world is in need of something extraordinary. Our

beloved astronomers of the world were busy at work
out at space stations and beyond. But then all was lost
as their only way hope was DESTROYED. It is up to our
YEAR 5 science class to save the day. We have to do
their job while they figure out a way to get home. We
must be strong! We must use our knowledge of the

Mr. Stark has been able to identify some helpful ways to get you started:
- Explore the worlds resources online that contain information on the solar system,
- Don’t forget to look through famous writer Julie Murray’s range of literature on the planets.
- Explore the reasons to why it is important for us to teach the next generations about the solar system.
- Make sure every detail to the colour of a planet is correctly identified.
- We
must remember to think sustainably, try to use sustainable resources when creating your solar system.

When creating your 3-D solar systems
- Respect others around you and try to find the information on your own.
- Use recyclable materials for your planets
- Include information that may be helpful to those wishing to learn about the solar system.
- Make sure your 3-D model is built strong and and stable to deal with the harsh conditions of this climate.
